Chapter 91 Mindset

"E company, a row of brothers gather!" Sergeant Tabert shouted loudly. Then several sergeants in the company were greeting the brothers in each row. They gradually gathered in the largest square in the town.

"Oh, don't tell me, this is a signal ready to go." Carper muttered as he stood in line, "Didn't we just retreat last night? Don't the people in the division know how tired we are?

"Shut up, Carbo, there's no point in saying this." When Martin passed by Carber, he couldn't help interrupting.

The whole brothers of Company E have gathered together. They lined up and watched Winters walk to a stage in front of the team, followed by Parks, Wales, Nixson and other officers.

"Thank you for your hard work. I want to tell you that we will enter the defensive position south of Carrington from tomorrow, so I ask you to stay in this town as much as possible and don't make trouble." Winters then nodded to Parks and asked him to come over and stand on the stage. "Second Lieutenant Parks has something to announce."

"I hope it's a good thing!" Jost muttered a word.

The brothers of Company E are playing drums in their hearts. After all, the first news announced by Winters is not good news. They now have a deep resentment for the so-called news, which is almost conditioned. After all, since D, for Company E, they have always accepted all kinds of orders and participated in all kinds of battles.

"Randoman, Martin, Gernelly, White, Dukman, Westfordi, Pakante, Tybert, Toe, Gordon and Li Gott. All the brothers I read will stay, and the rest will be disbanded!" Parks didn't announce anything at all. He just read a long list of names and disbanded the team.

"What the hell?" Pyconti muttered.

The hearts of everyone who was called by the name suddenly felt that something was about to happen. Obviously, there must be something wrong, and it's not a good job. They were all waiting for Parks' further explanation.

"It's up to you!" Winters nodded to Parks and then signaled to Nixon, Wales and others to leave.

"Dick!" Parks stopped him and handed over a piece of paper. "This is the material I need. Basically, it can be collected by our division department. I will leave before two o'clock in the afternoon."

Winters took it over and looked at it. It was all some standing equipment. It should not be difficult to get together. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get it all together. I'll give it to you before you leave!" Then he patted Parks on the shoulder and left with Nixon and others.

"Okay, soldiers, come here. We have a mission." Parks shouted loudly.

The remaining brothers looked at each other and looked exactly like this.

"What kind of task is it, sir!" The cow Landman shouted.

Parks smiled and said, "Save Private Niland. "Da Niu!"

Everyone was stunned, and then looked at Parks in a doze.

"Sir, are you asking us to save a guy named Niland?" Dukeman shouted, "Or let's go back to the position and fight with the Germans?" You know, we only have more than a dozen people now, and it's useless at all.

Parks nodded and said, "Okay, guys, let me tell you why. Bob? Niland, a second-class soldier of the 82nd Division, was captured by the Germans in a battle. He was imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp of the German Sixth Parachute Regiment, which is now in confrontation with us.

"But what does this have to do with us?" Li Gaote muttered.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with us. Before that, I didn't even know that there was a guy like Niland in the world. I didn't have to pay attention to whether he was captured or not. But brothers, it has something to do with us now!" Parks looked at Li Gaote, and then saw that everyone was staring at him, so he nodded and said, "This guy has three brothers. One is a D company named Fritz? Niland, I believe someone should have heard of this name. He was killed by the Germans in a night march. A brother who was a platoon leader died in Utah Beach on the day of D, and another brother who was a pilot in the China-Myanmar-India war zone was also killed this week. That is to say, all three of his brothers were killed in the battle, and he himself was captured by the Germans.

"But, sir, what kind of task is this?" Xifudi raised his hand and asked a question.

Parks did not answer his question directly, but continued, "That is to say, Bob? Niland's mother received three death notification telegrams from the Army Department on the same day. Therefore, in order to avoid the fourth death telegram from Niland's mother, the people of the Army Department decided on a stupid task.

"Oh, my God, can't we go to the damn German prisoner-of-war camp to save that guy?" Li Gaote couldn't help patging his forehead with chagrin and looked very depressed.

"Congratulations, you're right, Li Gaote." Parks nodded, "But there is no prize."

"Your officer!" Xifu raised his hand again.

"Do you have anything to ask? Just ask, Xifu. Parks nodded at him.

"Excuse me, can we question this action, or question it?" Xifudi asked a question that all the soldiers here wanted to ask, and then looked at Parks eagerly.

Parks looked at him and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try my best to explain it to you. If you have any questions, please let me know."

"Well, can we refuse this task?" Xifudi seemed to have summoned up a lot of courage. "Everyone knows that this task is no different from suicide."

Parks smiled and then replied, "Well, you can refuse to perform this task, but the premise is that I must refuse this task of the company, then the company refuses the regimental headquarters, then the regimental department rejects the division headquarters, and finally the division rejects the army headquarters. And so on, but I don't think General Taylor of the division will refuse the army. Who else has a problem?

Xifudi lowered his head angrily. At this time, someone raised his hand again. It was Li Gaote.

"What I want to say is that there are many regiments in the 101st Division, and there are nine companies in the regimental headquarters. Why did they choose E Company?" Li Gaote looked at Parks and said loudly.

"I also want to know why. So I asked Company Chief Winters with the same question. Do you want to hear Company Chief Winters's answer? Parks looked at their eager eyes and smiled, "The commander of Winters relayed Colonel Sink's words. The colonel said: Company E is the best company of the 506th Regiment, so it is also the best company of the 101st Division, because the 506th Regiment is the best regiment of the 101st Division. That's it."

"Why choose us?" Martin finally couldn't help interrupting a sentence, which he had been listening to just now.

Parks nodded and said, "This question is very good. I also asked Company Chief Winters like this. He told me: Parks, I can't think of a second person to lead this task except you. Now I have to forward this sentence to you: Guys, without you, I really can't think of anyone else to choose for this task. Are you satisfied with the answer like this?

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Xi Fudi muttered, "So there is no other choice?"

Parks nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, Xifudi, we have no choice. All right, pack up your own things. We will leave on time at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I will have a detailed report for you. Disband!"

Everyone dispersed around. To be honest, morale is not very high. They were more passive and neglecting the task of suicide, but they did not refuse, because it was a task that must be carried out.

"Hey, Toy, do you have a task?" Carper looked at Joe? Toy came over from the square and stepped forward to talk to him.

Toy was not in a good mood. He nodded and said impatiently, "Yes, yes, is there anything else?"

"Oh, no more!" Cap didn't make way, and then looked at Tybert, who followed him, and said, "Did he take gunpowder? Or did someone provoke him?

"You messed with him. "Kaber!" Tibert walked past him blankly.

"You are dead! "Kaber!" Li Gaote, who came from behind, made a design gesture with his hand, and then squeezed at him, "Maybe you want to taste the tiger ring in his hand?"

"Hey, what's wrong with me?" Carper spread out his hands and said dissatisfiedly to the others, "Who did I provoke? Why are you doing this to me?"

"If you shut up, you have nothing to do!" White has not been satisfied with Carbo. Since Carbo killed the French man by mistake, the two of them have not been at each other.

"What the hell happened?" Bloi was also a little curious about them. After being left by Parks, they were like this. To be sure, this must not be a comfortable task.

"I don't know. Why don't you ask yourself?" Malaqi beside him said to him.

Broo's nodded and he was not talking. He looked at them a little distracted.

The time in the morning is at their disposal. Several of them had a hair cut and hung up their beard. Martin is writing a letter. He wants to write a letter to his family. After all, they all think that this mission is a dead end.

"This is what you need, one BAR and two M1 sniper rifles. Isn't it easy to get? Smoke grenades, flashlights, radio stations, is there anything else you need to add?" Winters laid the equipment in a warehouse, and then looked at Parks. "And the British Siden MKIIS submachine gun, which was made by Colonel Sink's pains efforts."

"Sit's all!" Parks nodded. This is basically the simplest special combat equipment, but now it can only be like this. "Okay, thank you, Winters."

"Do you need me to talk to my brothers?" Winters looked at Parks and asked.

"No," Parks smiled, "even if I receive such a task, I will be dissatisfied, but don't worry, Dick, they are very disciplined soldiers."

"Okay!" Winters is about to say something.

At this time, a group of people appeared at the door of the warehouse. Winters saw that it was the soldiers named by Parks. None of them left behind and arrived on time.
